Scotland Trip Proposal

There are sufficient positive responses to approach the Board of Education for endorsement to proceed. This most probably will be considered at the March 9th Board of Education Meeting.

The information meeting with representatives of YOUTH MUSIC OF THE WORLD (sponsors of the Edinburgh Easter Festival), originally scheduled for February 16 has been postponed. A new date for the meeting is not available at this time.

Also, please regularly check the Bobcat Band website (home.dacor.net/BGHSband) for late-breaking news regarding all facets of the BGHS Band, and especially news about the Scotland trip!

Kroger Gift Certificates

For those of you who shop at Kroger on a regular basis, why not do it with gift certificates? Here’s how it works: You purchase one or more gift certificates for $25 each, and use them at any Kroger store just like regular money. You’re not out anything and 5% of the sale of each certificate purchased can be applied to individual trip accounts. Everybody wins.

Certificates may be purchased at the Deutschman residence, 911 N. Wintergarden, at the following regularly scheduled times:

    Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30 pm
    Saturdays, 10:00-11:00 am

This is a fundraiser that is easy on your pocketbook. So don't wait, start earning money today!

Sign Up for Meijer Community Rewards

The BGHS Bobcat Band is now signed up with Meijer Community Rewards. To get your own card, complete an application form (available at the Deutschman residence at the above scheduled times) or sign up on-line at the Meijer website (www.Meijer.com/rewards). The band's organization number is 951335. Your earnings are determined by your monthly spending:

    $100-399.99     earns 1%
    $400-799.99     earns 2.5%
    $800 plus     earns 4%
Meijer will send us an earnings report each month. There are some restrictions on items that qualify for this program (e.g., not good for gasoline). You must also remember to show/swipe the card BEFORE your purchase is made.

You can also get friends and family to link to your card. To do so you must have your card first. Then have them fill out an application and have them enter your card number, in the appropriate spot, to link their card to yours. This way, their rewards earnings will go to your trip account on the monthly report we receive from Meijer.

If you have any questions concerning how the Meijer Community Rewards program works contact Anne Deutschman at 354-3014 or jakgs@dacor.net.
